Soon after being born, Jaire “Jai” has spent his life in the system, growing up in group homes and a few foster homes. While in one of his group homes, he meets the love of his life at a young age, Taina—until she runs away to be with the next man. After aging out of the system and a few years later, Jai is reunited with Taina and he works consistently to make his house a home, especially for her expensive taste. Hugging the corner nightly, Jai’s goal is to put in the work and to make his way up the street ladder by hustling and grinding, displaying his willingness to get to the next level. For now, he works diligently as a corner boy—that is until his life is flipped upside down but with no uncle in Bel-Air there to save him. Even though Jai has been through a lot in his young life, he remains humble with a great spirit and superior heart. When he comes across a car accident on a dark highway, he activates his good Samaritan side and aids the unknown stranger. Unbeknownst to Jai, this act of kindness changes his life in multiple ways. After learning how his heart has been tainted with intentional lies and sordid betrayal, Jai says yes to a life-changing opportunity with no hesitation. In this first installment of this gritty and sultry African American urban fiction saga, Jaire is the prime example of starting at the bottom and rising to the top of the food chain. When malice deceit and deliberate disloyalty trample his home, Jai demonstrates that he is more than just a corner boy, especially when he levels up From A Lame Thug To A Corporate Plug.
